Robles de Medina is known for his research-driven practice, often working with archives and layered narratives that connect personal and political histories. Currently up in the Stedelijk Museum’s permanent collection exhibition, and earlier this year exhibited at the Cobra Museum, his work actively engages with how images shape and reflect contemporary experience.

In the new series All the Rage, the artist turns to the visual language of today’s media landscape, five small-scale coloured pencil drawings based on news images of Luigi Mangione’s trial gone viral, the American accused of the 2024 shooting of a UnitedHealthcare CEO. As his case unfolds, Mangione has become a highly charged public figure, reflecting the polarized nature of current public discourse.

Carefully built through layers of colour pencil, the drawings slow down and complicate the original images. Rather than offering clear narratives, they hold moments of hesitation and ambiguity, asking the viewer to spend time with them. Installed sparsely, the works create a quiet, focused space that contrasts with the fast pace of the media they draw from.

Alongside this series, the exhibition expands further into Robles de Medina’s broader practice, bringing together recent works that continue his exploration of political imagery, collective memory, and the ways in which spectacle, belief, and representation are constructed and circulated.

The title All the Rage points to a dual meaning, both emotional intensity and cultural trend, capturing the tension between urgency and repetition in how images circulate today.

The exhibition opens on April 15 at POINT, Bucharest and can be visited through May 3, 2026.
